My name is Elke and I am a 25 year old girl from Australia. I grew up between Brisbane and family farms in Western QLD and NSW with my twin sister, younger brother and younger sister.

I am a very reliable, hard-working and independent individual and I love making kids smile – rain, hail or shine! With several young cousins and lots of young families around the area I live, who I have looked after growing up, my experience spans across all ages of children.

I have completed a Bachelor of Public Health, majoring in Health Promotion in which I completed 140 hours working with the UTS Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion, both organising and mentoring students in a pathway program that sets them up for access to university.

Additionally, I have completed two ski seasons in Whistler, Canada and skied multiple times in Australia, so I really do love skiing. I love working with children and seeing all their different personalities and the excitement they create about the small things in life.

I have been baby sitting and nannying since I graduated high school in 2018, both casually and professionally on full time. My experience includes looking after children but also driving them to activities and school, house chores and helping families however they need.

I look forward to meeting with you and your families soon!

"Elke cared for our children, including a 6-month-old baby, toddlers and
our 9- and 11-year-old. She adapted easily to the different needs of each age group, from feeding, settling and developmental play with the babies to supporting our older child with activities, routines and school-related needs. She is warm, patient and attentive and the children were happy and safe in her care. Elke was also a great help with daily household tasks, such as preparing children’s meals, tidying play areas, laundry for the children and light cleaning. She took initiative and always kept the home running smoothly without needing to be asked. She was extremely reliable and punctual throughout her time with us, and we could always trust that things were in safe hands. She communicates very well with parents, giving clear and thoughtful updates about the children’s days, milestones and any concerns, which gave us great peace of mind.
I have no hesitation in recommending Elke and believe she would be a wonderful addition to any family".

"Elke has worked for our family extensively over a number of years looking after our four children. She is extremely reliable, hardworking and trustworthy. There were numerous occasions when we left the children in her care for up to a week at a time and we would always arrive home to very happy kids who were well cared for. She is very well organised and has the ability to adapt to any situation. Elke has a lovely sense of humour and makes great connections with people of all ages. She has a particular talent working with children and the families that get to connect with her will be very lucky".
